Moof again. Here we are, it's November. Where have I been? Well, let's cut to the chase. AFTEREFFECT DX has taken a backseat lately so we can focus on life things, but in October the project was put on hiatus due to something very big happening: I got a job in retail! I’m the lead programmer, artist, and pretty much most of everything involved in the game. I had to work a lot in October which took a lot of time out of game development. Well, a lot of time. Even though I work part time, I was pretty much given full time hours in October which totally ATE up any time I had to work on the game.
However, I’m glad to announce AFTEREFFECT DX is now back in development due to myself requesting less hours. Now I finally have the time to do things other than work! Life has gone around throwing this game’s development cycle for a loop but I will still persist, and the game will come out. I strive to actually finish the expansion and have you guys play it, and not fall into the FNAF fan game cancellation trap. We are sorry that it is taking so long, but we want to make time for our lives and not rush the final product.
The current goal is to complete the game before 2020 or, worst case scenario, early 2021. I don’t want to get everyone's hopes up thinking it's a super huge expansion, but it's something that takes a little bit of extra motivation to go out and make which has made it hard. Or rather, has made it hard in the past to develop. Motivation right now is very high at SPLEE TEAM, so that isn’t really an issue plaguing development anymore. We have a clear plan on what we want the expansion to be for once and all the new mechanics, and all that's left is programming it and putting it into action (as well as some art to do!).
We do want the game to be completed sooner than later, so we are calling for some help also. If you’re an artist and you think you can do detailed backgrounds or replicate the character art seen in AFTEREFFECT, please contact us if you are interested in volunteer work! If we feel you are qualified, you can help get the expansion out faster. Any art will be done with the guidance of myself (the lead artist) so you’ll be given the instructions to make the art fit within the game.
Anyway, that's all I got guys, Thanks for sticking with AE for all this time, and thanks for 600 followers as well. See ya next Saturday for more updates!
